Hey guys,
I've had a pair of Onyx (female) and Grade A Picasso (male) for about 3 years now and for the past 5 months they've been spawning. I'm super stoked and excited. I was just wondering how hard is it to actually raise the fries? I'm thinking about setting up a growout system for them. Only thing is the rotifers and phytoplankton. I'm not sure how to do all those. I want to make it simple. Well here's my pair spawning for the first or second time I can't remember:

Sweet! If you're going to attempt to raise them, you should probably pull the eggs out soon.

Thank You all for the kind words!

Here's a link to a quick write up I did. Long story short, it's not that hard!

Hey Temper, The female is a wild caught Onyx and the male is from a breeder named Doni of Donisreef (dot) com.

Yeah she used to really have nice ones and good pricing. I feel like nowadays it's a bit pricier and the markings aren't as nice.
